ENOUGH OF HARDSHIP! After Sultan Of Sokoto Blamed Tinubu For Hardship, SEE Sunday Igboho’s Statement That Raised Concerns
Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho, known as Sunday Adeyemo, has entered the fray ignited by Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ ad Abubakar III’s, lamentations over the dire state of insecurity and poverty plaguing Nigeria, particularly the north. While acknowledging the gravity of the situation, Igboho diverges from the Sultan’s implied blame on the cup administration, arguing that the is are deeply rooted and require a n TAKE approach beyond assigning immediate culpability
Reacting to the Sultan’s pronouncements, Igboho, a leading voice in the Yoruba self-determination movement, issued a statement emphasizing the need for collective action and a solutions- oriented mindset. from all stakeholders. He stressed that Nigeria’ s challenges, particularly in the north, are “foundational, stemming from decades of” bad governance, poor economy, terrorism, insecurity, and irresponsive leadership.”
While not downplaying the Sultan’ s concerns, Igboho implored against pinning the blame solely on President Bola Tinubu’s administration, which has only been in office for eight months. He urged Nigerians to grant the government time to formulate and implement solutions, arguing that attributing the complex issues to such a nascent administration is unhelpful and unproductive.
*The Tinubu administration inherited a precarious situation,” Igboho asserted.” It’s crucial to remember the decades of neglect that led to this point. Blaming the current government without acknowledging the historical context does little to solve the problems.”
Instead of assigning blame, Igboho advocated for a collaborative approach, urging leaders at all levels- religious, traditional, and political-to” demonstrate commitment to bringing solutions to the table. “He acknowledged the government’s efforts, citing the deployment of troops to protect farmers and the planned establishment of a National Commodity Board as positive steps.” The government is not unconcerned, “Igboho maintained. They ve taken steps, like deploying troops to protect farmers, and plan to establish a National Commodity Board to address inflation. We need to give these measures time to yield results.
Igboho’s stance reflects a measured
approach, recognizing the severity of the issues while advocating for patience and a focus on solutions rather than immediate recriminations. He underscores the need for collective responsibility and a united front in tackling the multifaceted challenges facing Nigeria.
However, his perspective might not resonate with all. Some may argue that eight months is sufficient time for the government to demonstrate tangible progress, particularly given the urgency of the situation. Others might criticize Igboho’s perceived leniency towards the administration, especially considering his past pronouncements advocating for more radical solutions.
Regardless of individual viewpoints,
Igboho’s intervention adds another layer
to the ongoing discourse on Nigeria’s
struggles. His emphasis on shared
responsibility and a solutions-oriented
approach serves as a counterpoint to the
blame game that often dominates such
discussions. Whether his message resonates widely or not, it highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of the challenges at hand and a willingness to explore diverse perspectives in the pursuit of a better future for Nigeria.
